MUSCLE DOME GUIDE:
------------------
Gaining 100 + coins for entry into the Muscle Dome.
Method: Baka Fighter game
Select Gala.
Battle 1: Black Puira--Attack with square button only 2 coins
Battle 2: Gomboo--Attack with X button only 4 coins 6 total
Battle 3: Skeleton--Attack with O button only 6 coins 12 total
Battle 4: Wolf--Attack with either the Square or X button until you get a
clean hit; this should take at most two tries. When you
have hit the wolf to where only he got hit alternate
between square and circle for an easy win.
Ex. Sq(clean) O Sq O Sq O Sq...........
Battle 5: Xain Attack with the O button, even if you both get hurt until
you hit him three times cleanly. Then hit him low three
times quickly with the X button. Then hit him with the
circle button until you get three clean hits then hit him
low with the X button three times, etc. NOTE: This is the
only battle so far that requires speedy pressing of the
buttons to be effective. 50 coins total
This is as far as I have discovered the patterns for the bosses, so I would choose
payout and play once or twice more to earn enough coins to enter the tournament.
This is almost a sure fire method for earning 50 coins every time.
DEFINITELY save before you enter the Beginner's tournament. Only Vahn will
enter the tournament, Noa and Gala will shy away from it.
If you don't win the beginner's tournament you will wind up with less coins than
you started with. Winning the Beginner's tournament earns you over 818 coins.

HINTS AND TIPS:
---------------
1) When you first control Noa, save at the Memory Statue nearby.
Follow Terra to the training ground, and fight the easier Red Puiras or
the Black Puiras. After each battle you can talk to Terra to heal and
after a couple of battles he will teach you an arts. I recommend you
fight here and raise levels until Terra forces you to stop. You will
have to fight solo for a period, so you don't to be weak. Once you
meet up with Terra again, it joins your party as a computer controlled
character that cannot be killed. Don't worry about Noa's health because
Terra will heal you when necessary and even revive you. It is a good idea
to raise levels with the Wolf before you progress too far, as you wind up
losing the wolf Terra before the boss.
2) Typically you are alerted to a boss by the presence of a Memory Statue
before a doorway or cave. One exception is in Nivora Ravine (see below).
3) When you first control Noa and are on the map screen, head east in the
direction of the mist, instead of south to Mt. Rikuroa . This is one of
four paths to what you will learn is a mist generator, and this is the only
time you will be able to check that path. I have entered two of the paths
while the mist was too thick and in both instances the cutscenes had a chest
in each, one of which was an Ivory Book. I failed to check all four paths
before I thinned the mist with the Genesis Tree.
KEY MOVE FOR NOA:
I am not sure if you are eventually taught this move, but it is best to
learn it early on. It requires 5 moves on the action gauge, you may have
to spirit to use it initially.
TOUGH LOVE ART: D U D L R (down up down left right) 30 AP
This move charms an enemy and I have NEVER had it fail on any regular
enemy. The two mains uses I found for this art are as follows:
a) There is a new, tough enemy amongst others. Perform TOUGH LOVE on
that enemy and eliminate the others, sometimes the charmed enemy will help
out. You can recharm the same enemy if you accidentally hit him with
TOUGH LOVE again if you want.
b) You other characters are low in AP and you want to give them time to
raise their AP before next battle or before attacking the enemy. Use TOUGH
LOVE on the last enemy and then spirit on all characters until you are
satisfied with their AP levels. I have never had any enemy become
uncharmed on its own.
4) When you get to Vidna, go south to the beach and grab the fishing gear
by examining it and then talking to the guy lying down. Go to the bath house
where the slot machine is and the guy will give you 10 coins. Don't waste
them on the slot machine, instead talk tot he guy selling coins for 100 G
each and when you say no he will ask you to you want to trade for items.
Say Yes and then buy some bait for fishing. Go to the fishing spot
southest of Vidna, and you can earn some items.
5) When you reach Sol, you will likely have to raise levels in lower mist
levels and rest at the inn upstairs when necessary. You can go to the very
top of Sol and talk to the Master, but you will have to fight a hard boss.
Anyway once you reach the top you will have to then gain access to the
basement by feeding the golden chests in the lower mist levels Soru Bread.
You need 7 loaves which can be obtained two ways: From the Bakery for
6000 G each or 100 coins each from the muscle dome. I suggest you raise
levels, save and try out the beginner's course on the Muscle Dome. The
entrance fee each time is 100 coins. See the Muscle Dome guide above for
details on how to acquire the 100 coins and winning.
6) In Sol, at the top after talking to the Master you will have to face a
tough boss. Be prepared to fight a tougher version of the same boss in
Warrior's Square in the basement of Sol. Be sure to talk to the Emperor
in the Inn on the 1st floor of Sol to get the password to the Usha
Research Center. You have to talk into the pipe inside the bottom area
of Usha Research Center to enter the password, so they send the elevator
down.
7) When you get the Bronze book from Usha Research System equip it immediately
on one of your characters. This is one of the best items in the game, as it
dramatically increases your chance on acquiring an item from winning a battle.
Items I have acquired include: Healing Berry, Healing Fruit, Magic Fruit,
Lost Grail, and Spirit Talisman.
8) In Nivora Ravine, do not proceed past the first save point unless you are
comfortable with the idea of all your characters fighting solo. I suggest
raising to level 35. Past the first save, you split up and head down
different paths. *** Look for cave entrances as Vahn should find the
Mettle Gem (BE SURE TO GET THIS ITEM), Noa the Rainbow Jewel, and Gala
the Spirit Talisman I believe.
You cannot save before fighting the bosses of this level, the Delilases,
and Che Delilas, the first boss, is tough. Here are the matchups:
Gala vs. Che Delilas: Equip Guardian Ring and Defender Chain
Noa vs. Lu Delilas
Vahn vs. Gi Delilas: Mettle Gem
**Important Note--The Delilases all have the same fighting pattern: They
attack normally twice, then they do a special move which
unless you spirit to defend against you will get
pummeled.
9) To get the Soren Book of Arts in the Floating Fortress, in the room with
the "Hideous Torture Device" go to the switch and activate it. In the
remains in the device is the Soren Book.
10) After defeating Songi in Seru-kai, your party will be warped to the top
of Mt. Rikuroa. Touch the Genesis Tree and Terra will learn a new spell
called Terra and power up. Use the Door of Light to leave, then warp to
Sol and got to the Genesis Tree in the basement. Touching this Tree will
power up Vahn's Meta Ra-Seru and teach him the spell Meta. Go to the Genesis
Tree in East Voz Forest to power up Gala's Ozma Ra-Seru.
11) When going to the Juggernaut, don't be fearful of entering as you can
leave by foot or a Door of Light, and there are two save points. The second
being just before the final boss. You will want to get the Crimson Book, so
raising levels is quicker (see items). You will also find the best armor
and weapons for all of you characters in the Juggernaut.
Trying to get all of the Seru Magics? Look no further than the Juggernaut.
Outside of the Juggernaut, you can learn the spells Grimard, Vera, & Theeder.
In the Juggernaut there are two types of enemies per area and they typically
alternate in appearance. Since these enemies are level 3 you will probably
need to equip the Ivory Book to learn the spells, especially for Spoon, Iota,
Gilium, etc.
My favorite accessories settings:
---------------------------------
Vahn: War God Icon, Mettle Gem, and Wonder Amulet or War Soul
Noa: Wonder Amulet, Guardian Ring, and Rainbow Jewel
Gala: Spirit Talisman, Magic Grail, Mettle Gem
Miracle Arts:
-------------
Vahn: R D L U L U R D L 99 AP
Noa: L U R D U L U D R 99 AP
Gala: R R D U D U D L L 99 AP
My Opinions
-----------
Overall, I liked Legend Legaia very much. It has a good story, characters,
combat system, and I liked how new equipment was noticeable in combat.
My main gripe is with the Magic in the game. I think it is great that your
Ra-Seru acquires spells from enemy Seru, but the length of the spells gets
tiresome after the first couple of castings. If there were an option to
shorten the spell length that would have been awesome. Most of the spell
length is the "intro" of the Seru. This fact is the only real gripe I
have with the game.
If I have missed any items in the game that you know of please let me know
via email. Please include where the item is found and what its properties
are. If you have corrections for any aspect of this guide, please let me
know.
